It was Ascension Day yesterday = off work. Took the day off today, Friday + 2 days during weekend = lotsa time to get all the last small details in place, and get the bike started. It least that was what I thought!'
With 2 new drain screws + gaskets, the front forks has stopped leaking oil. This time, I inspected the holes carefully, and I did apply some LockTite to the screws before finally securing them with a gentle blow from an impact driver. No leaks
A small amount of oil was filled into tank, and I noticed, how the oil flowed through the main tube, and no leaks anwhere. But when I was to tighten the biggest of the 4 banjo bolts to the pump, the thread just snapped all of a sudden
I'm always very aware of not overtighten, and I try not to grip a spanner at the far end, thus minimizing the torque arm. And my alu washers were brand new.
Kind of a bummer
So I had to drain tank and main pipe again:
This is how the banjo bolt looked like, when I got it out:
Guess there some good advise to be had here:

So it's time to get myself at Heli-coil set. Never to late to learn some new tricks
